TEACHERS RESOLYE
They Retarn Thanks For The
Courtesies Shown Them.
INSTITUTE WAS A SUCCESS
An Entertainment Was Given by Them
at the College Auditorium
Friday Afternoon.
The teachers’ institute adjourned
on Friday after spending a profit
able and pleasant week in Law
reuceville.
They invited the citizens of the
town to attend an entertainment
at the college Thursday night, but
the rain interfered with their
plans and the program was post
poned until Friday afternoon.
Those who were present on that
occasion were highly pleased with
the rendition of the following
program:
Instrumental duet—Misses Lillie
and Daisy Ambrose.
Song—Miss Annie Winn.
Instrumental solo —Miss Daisy
Ambrose.
Recitation —Miss Annie Glenn.
Vocal solo —Miss Lillie Am
brose.
The teachers seem to be in love
with their work, and also find the
institute profitable, because the
resolution asking the legislature
to abolish this feature of the
teachers’ work was overwhelming
ly voted down.
The teachers were disappointed
in not getting some of the speak
ers to address them who had prom
ised to come, but they heard two
good speeches by Dr. G. R Glenn
and Prof. Eula B. Smith.
Prof. Smith has charge of the
English chair at the Normal school
and is as witty as he is bright.
The subject of his lecture was “Tri
fles,” and before he finished it was
clearly shown that life was made
up principally of the so-called
small or trifling things.
Mr. Smith kept the audience in
a continuous uproar, and we give
one couplet to show his apprecia
tion of common things. It is as
follows :
If a chigger were bigger,
Say as large as a rat,
And liis digger had vigor
Like the claws of a cat.
Say, picnicker, where would you beat ?
Expert Maxwell did not let the
work drag and Commissioner Bag
well was always on hand and made
a good presiding officer.
The teachers remained over un
til Saturday and stood a rigid ex
amination.
Below will be found the resolu
tions they adopted:

Mr. W. S. Whedon, cashier of
the First National Bank of Win
tereet, lowa, in a recent letter gives
some experience with a carpenter
in his employ, that will be of
value to other mechanics. He
says: “I had a carpenter
working for me who was obliged
to stop work for several days on ac
count of being troubled with diar
rhoea. I mentioned to him I had
been similarly troubled and that
Chamberlian’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy had cured me.
He bought a bottle of it from
the druggist here and informed
me that one dose cured him, and
he is again at his work.” For

Bob Ccle Psrdor-ed.
Robert L. Cole, son of Post
master W. C. Cole, has been par
doned by Governor Beckham, of
Kentucky, and will reach home
in a few days.
Bob joined the Second Georgia
regiment during the Spanish-
American war and while stationed
at Tampa, Fla., had a sunstroke
which affected his mind. Since
that time he has been subject to
spells. When mustered out of
the army, Bob again enlisted and
went with the Third Georgia to
Cuba.
After leaving the service the
second time Cole went to Paducah,
Ky., where he got into trouble.
He fell in love with a young lady
in the Blue Grass state and pawn
ed a diamond ring of hers he was
wearing, it is said while under the
influence of whisky. For this
offense he was tried and sent up
for nine months, and now he has
been pardoned by Governor Beck
ham and given his liberty.
The father of the girl who owned
the ring pushed the prosecution,
but the lady and her mother
stuck to Cole and testified in his
behalf during the trial. The
fact was brought out that his
mind was affected and the court
gave him a light sentence.
Governor Candler is personally
acquainted with young Cole and
wrote to the chief executive of
Kentucky in his behalf and as
soon as Governor Beckham could
review the case he promptly
issued a pardon.

Boad To Be Opened *
The county commissioners, act
ing on a petition from a large
number of citizens and the rec
ommendation of the district road
commissioners, passed favorably
some time since on said petition
to open a road from Seaborn
Clack’s via Irvin Wood’s to the
Chamblee place in Rocky Creek
district. Soon thereafter many
of those who signed the petition
changed their minds and a counter
petition was got up asking the
board not to grant the road. Both
parties came before the board
Monday, each side having a law r
yer, to urge their claims before
the board. The board paid no
attention, save a respectable hear
ing to the second petition and con
sequently the road will be opened.
